Watch the 1st round of Taylor/Froch, and then imagine it's Arthur Abraham landing those right hands! Obviously Abraham and Taylor have very different styles, but Stevie Wonder could land 30% on Froch. I'd take AA by KO EARLY!
As much as I like AA and prospects of him fighting either a Pavlik @ MW/Froch/Kessler @ 168lbs ect... I think AA will get derailed in between by a "warm-up" fight and we might never see him fight either one of those super fights. (just they way things have been going in the MW division recently)
AA takes it, why, because Froch gets hit too dam much, ontop of that Froch is too slow and doesn't really have one punch power to trouble Abraham. AA by 10th TKO.
Gotta go with Abraham here. For all his flaws, Arthur Abraham is a murderous puncher and Froch gets hit a lot. I think Abraham would carry his power up to SMW, maybe be even stronger there. If Tylor can put down Froch, so can Abraham, and worse. Abraham KO5 Froch.
i think Froch would be the underdog against any top boxer...but on the other hand, I'd also say he has a chance against any top boxer, and he's British, which is why at the moment, he'll sell tickets whoever he's fighting.
Abraham has already said he plans to move up to 168. The only big fight at 160 would be Pavlik and considering Hopkins took the shine of Pavlik, the fight won't be as big as we all would have liked. If I were Abraham I'd forget Pavlik and go straight for Froch.
It's basically a who gets who situation, Abraham and Froch. Both guys have stunning powershots and if you consider that both of them have limited defensive skill, then it's all about who carries the fight and who would be able to finish it. I feel that AA's stance is made to counter-attack and explore those wide openings created by a careless offensive opponent like Miranda but Froch is too much based on his own KO punch and has no rhythm to carry a game plan... So it's a very inactive, non-scientific fight with both fighters looking only for the big punch like Green vs Miranda. I see Abraham hitting Froch too often so that he would lose that fight.
i'll take Abe by KO, Froch throws too wild and too telegraphed Abe ain't no technician himself, but he's got KO power, he'll catch Froch with a big left hook somewhere in the 12rds..
Yes Abraham does put people to Sleep...hes the cure 4 insomnia. Hes got 1 decent KO win vs damaged goods in Miranda and everyone gets a boner! He was **** against eastman and quite a few others. Froch has Reach wont have to face a skilled fighter like Taylor. easy win for Froch Hes almost as over rated as Kessler. who has this guy beaten? froch looked vunrable against a top class fighter... If Froch's sparring partner could give him a fight then I would fancy Froch to win. He may get tagged but Abraham wil as well, Eastman staggered him so would be interetsing to see how he takes Froch. Abraham also likes to take break in fights, dont think he will get many. If the fight is in Germany then I favour Abraham on a dodgy decision Sven Ottke Style
I think that if Abraham could secure a fight with Froch it would be a very smart move. He'd get to keep his Zero, and become a two division world titlist. If he hangs around 160 to fight Pavlik, he'll lose his title and his Zero, and have to move to 168 while comng off a loss.
